John 10:10

Do you hear that? .......Neither do I. Silence has become a trusted friend of mine over the past 7+ years. I used to hate it, it used to make me feel lonely and vulnerable. But now...because it so rarely makes an appearance, I crave it. I need a litte in the middle of each day and after the kids go to bed. Those moments where the pitter pat of little feet and the little voices stop, even for just a few moments, helps me calm myself and causes me to appreciate the fact that I have been blessed with noise.

Yes indeedy! As a homeschool big sis I totally understand where you are coming from! It's so important to get that little bit of silence, to refresh and give you a bit more bounce to tackle the world again. :)

Aren't naps one of the most glorious things on earth?! For BOTH Mommy and kids! :D

What I write about.

This is a sporadic record of my life, my beautiful life. I am married to my best friend and together we are raising our six wonderful children. It is my goal to live life to the fullest. I am not a super mom, in fact some days (more than I care to admit) I am not even a good mom. But, I find that even in the thick of chaos and snotty noses...life can be sweet. I could just muddle through my days..surviving. But, I don't want to survive, I want to live! I believe that living includes the good and the bad...because, without the bad, we take the good for granted. So, even on my really bad days, I can thrive. Most importantly, without Jesus, I can't do any of it.So, follow along...I may post daily, but probably not. Feel free to share a thought or two, I enjoy a little conversation.
